Why don't you listen to intelligent dance music, /mu/? Don't you care about being intelligent?

Sorry, I dont have over 2000000 million IQ points and dont own a fedora
>>64416975
what is good IDM? Should I start with this guy?
do the artists them selves refer to this genre as intelligent dance music? who coined such an awful name
>>64417029
If you've never listened to Aphex Twin, quit wasting your time and listen to him. Excellent discography.
>>64417034
Most IDM artists are against the name. It's condescending and pretentious. If I'm not mistaken it got the name from a compilation album put out by Warp?
>>64417111
will do
any one else you would recommend to start with?
>>64417155
Amber. Autechre.

>dance
I prefer my dance music electronic, not intelligent
Does anyone know how I go about making IDM?
I refuse to mix my bleeps with blips, blops and boops.
>>64416975
Yeah bc operating a daw and turning some knobs is so fucking difficult.
Probably the worst "genre" name in music history, and literally none of the artists like it
>Aphex Twin
Acid techno, Ambient techno, Jungle
>Boards of Canada
Downtempo
>Squarepusher
Drill n Bass, Future Jazz
>Autechre
Techno

Who came up with that name?
>>64421252
Warp records released some shit compilation under the name in the 80s and the name stuck with the "genre"
>>64421307
errrm warp released a compilation under the name artificial intelligence
also it came out in '92 sooooooo
>>64421252
some mailing list. then american journalists started using it and it caught on and became "legitimate."
>>64421307
it was actually called artificial intelligence, which makes some semblance of sense. how the fans got "intelligent dance music" out of a.i. though, we will never know.
that comp has also got some really nice tracks on it, though it's aged pretty poorly.

I'm not even into electronic music that much, but the name of the genre always kind of annoyed me so thanks for clearing that up.
